Joyful Imji Creations

Kelsey Joyce is a Maryland-based artist who takes inspiration from her daydreams to create imaginary creatures she has coined the “Imji”. Joyce specializes in creating mixed media sculptures using various techniques and materials such as papier mache, wallpaper paste, paint, welding, clay, and acrylic paint. Each “Imji” has its own story, personality, and name that Joyce has nurtured into a series of folktales, art installations, and public artworks. Joyce’s fantastical subjects are inspired by her active love of color, animal hybrids, and alebrijes. Her goal with art is to transport the viewer into her fantasy, inspire optimism, and ignite their creativity. When she is not creating works of art she is an arts educator, events organizer, and expressing herself through dance, fashion, and music.
